At the start of the book I was thinking "NO......I KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING"
then at 15% I am thinking" but why . No this doesn't make sense". All through the book my mind was working over drive.
This is kind of book you can't stop reading . I read it in one day, couldn't stop until I finished .
This book was brain teaser.

The Breakdown is the first book I've read by B A Paris and I'm so glad I've found this author.

The Breakdown is the perfect chilling thriller that will have you hooked from the first chapter.

The story follows Cass, who after driving home one night can't get the image of the woman she saw parked in a car in the middle of the woods. The car belongs to a woman who was killed. Trying to put the car out of her mind after her husband told her not to drive that way home and reasoning with herself that she would have been hurt too if she'd stopped. But ever since then, she finds she is starting to forget things. Did she take her pills, what is the alarm code, did she order all the things that keep arriving at the house?

This book is a real page turner. The characters interweave perfectly and there is an underlying tension simmering throughout the whole book which adds to the gripping finale.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and give it 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin UK Ltd and the author for the chance to review.

Brilliant. This is the first BA Paris book for me and although a slow start where I did consider abandoning it, so glad that I didn't. A very gradual build up of tension with a very dramatic climax that just kept me up all night reading.

Paranoia sweeps central character Cass in ‘The Breakdown,’ after she realises she could have helped her friend.

On her way home through the woods on a stormy summers evening Cass notices a broken down car by the side of the road. After briefly stopping, feeling vulnerable, she decides to continue driving. It is only later that she learns that the woman she saw has been killed and that she was a friend.

As Cass ruminates on what could have been, she begins to unravel. B.A. Paris has created another tension filled, fast paced novel which gives the reader a constant feeling of unease until the satisfying ending.

A round of applause to this author for another book that gripped me so whole-heartedly and was so compelling, that the outside world just disappeared whilst I was reading it.

I chose to read this NetGalley ARC for which I have given a voluntary and unbiased review.

BA Paris has done it again. Another fantastic, fast paced, roller coaster of a read. I felt the horror and guilt Cass felt by leaving the girl on the side of the road. Her life seems to fall apart from thereon and she struggles with memory. Is she a reliable narrator or is she losing the plot. Great characters but are they friends and can they be trusted. This book had me all over the place but not guessing the very good, satisfying twist of an ending. Thanks to Harper Collins and NetGalley for the advanced copy for review. Highly recommended.

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book as an arc.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Cass witnesses an apparent car breakdown on her way home, but doesn't stop to help. She learns that the driver was murdered later that night and is tormented by guilt, feeling that she could have prevented the murder. Over the next couple of weeks, she starts receiving silent phone calls and she is convinced the murderer is targeting her now. She also believes she is suffering from early onset dementia and finds herself becoming a recluse, hiding away from the world in fear.
Of course nothing is as it seems and there are plenty of twists and turns before we learn the true story behind Cass's torment. There is a claustrophobic feeling of unease throughout, keeping the reader unsettled and anxious to to keep reading. Would thoroughly recommend this book and those who enjoy a good psychological thriller/domestic noir will love this.

I absolutely loved 'Behind Closed Doors' so couldn't wait to read this one. It didn't disappoint at all, I loved it just as much as the previous book.

The Breakdown is a psychological thriller which grips you from the start, with so many twists and turns there is no chance of getting bored. A real page turner with an ending that blew me away, a highly recommneded book.

I can't wait for the next one from this author, this one gets a massive 5 stars from me.
